Okay, so water is definitely out. How about the other elements (earth, wind and fire)?

Post a pic of your ride incorporating any of the above eg. earth moving equipment, wind turbine or sailboat, fire truck, even a business sign with any of those words in its name.

Bonus points for getting more than one of them in the same pic!

Lets see, I'm in Florida near the coast so Sailboats should be easy. Nope, can't find a place to park the bike and see a sail boat. Yes it is brezzy here in Florida, but not a windmill or wind turbine to be found. And lots of land being developed but could not find anything locally with a any earth moving equipment. So the word in the name will have to work:


This Fire House Sub is less than a block from my house and right next door to the Ormond Beach Fire Staion.


Figured I woud get both.


This was the pic for Wind I had to ride about 45 miles to get. Took a long time while searching for something with Wind in the name before I remembered this place. It is located in Oak Hill, Florida on US-1. Good place for leather items, patches, etc.. The even sew patches on for you.

OK, thinking up interesting challenges is getting harder and harder. It is kinda like "been there and done that". So,assuming I have met the challenge. this will be easy. Your bike in front of some sort of tower, ie.; water, radio, cell (they are all over the place), etc. You will probably need two pics...one from a distance with the bike and full tower and one at the base with bike to show the GOTBS.

Bonus points if you can find something a little different. As am example, we have a place called the Citrus tower over in Clermont:

Just an example.

A gift from Russia after 911.

From the same spot you can see the new 1 World Trade Center (AKA The Freedom Tower)

Assuming that is a winner...
There is a bar near where I live called The Stumble Inn.

Lets see you bike in front of a business with a clever name: a double meaning or a pun.

Yep, good job....that is a definately a winner. In fact you get all the bunus points you can carry in your saddlebags.

We got a few of those kind of named places around here. One that imediately comes to mind is called The Beaver Bar...kinda think that would qualify However, I'll give others a head start and won't go chasing any down for a few days. Lets see what y'all find. Even if you are not first to submit and make the next challenge, it wont hurt to post up what you find.

Punny:

If this is OK, next is your bike by something Revolutionary War or Civil War related. A sign, statue, memorial, bldg, etc or even a street sign related in some way.
BTW, that's a glove on top of the tourpak.

Reading your reply, I just remembered one from when I was younger and living in Vail Colorado. The next town over, Avon CO, was home to Beaver Creek ski mountain. The name of the business that I had forgotten: Beaver Liquors.
I bought their t-shirt, with the name around a the logo that was similar to The Rolling Stones...

This is in Hoboken NJ where the parking is like NYC. Look back into the park and you will see it.

Since I have ridden the bike to the hardware store twice this week for a project (and when I go on the bike it’s one an hour or so each way), next challenge is your bike in front of a hardware store with your purchase on or next to the bike. No gear needed.
